It acknowledges that it may be involved in ordinary course legal matters in the future - The company is **not currently the subject of any material** governmental investigation, private lawsuit, or other legal proceeding[138](index=138&type=chunk) [Risk Factors](index=46&type=section&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) This section details numerous risks that could materially harm the company's business. Key risks include its limited operating history and history of losses, the need for substantial additional capital, the unproven nature of its drug discovery platform, and reliance on third parties for manufacturing and clinical trials. It also highlights risks related to competition, regulatory approval, intellectual property protection, and operating in China. Specific concerns mentioned include the BIOSECURE Act's potential impact on its supplier WuXi AppTec and the inherent uncertainties of clinical development [Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History, Financial Position and Capital Requirements](index=46&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Limited%20Operating%20History%2C%20Financial%20Position%20and%20Capital%20Requirements) The company has a limited operating history, has incurred significant losses since inception ($375.9 million accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2025), and expects losses to continue. It will require substantial additional capital to finance operations, especially for Phase 3 studies, which may not be available on acceptable terms. Failure to obtain capital could force delays or termination of development programs - The company has a **limited operating history**, has incurred **significant operating losses** since inception, and expects to incur significant losses for the **foreseeable future**[140](index=140&type=chunk) - **Substantial additional capital is required** to finance operations, and failure to obtain it may force **delays, limitations, or termination** of product development programs[143](index=143&type=chunk) - Existing cash is estimated to be **sufficient through at least 2027**, but this **excludes Phase 3 registrational studies for aleniglipron**[144](index=144&type=chunk) [Risks Related to the Discovery, Development and Regulatory Approval of Product Candidates](index=50&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20the%20Discovery%2C%20Development%20and%20Regulatory%20Approval%20of%20Product%20Candidates) The company's drug discovery platform is unproven, and its product candidates are in early clinical development. Drug development is a lengthy, expensive, and uncertain process. Positive early-stage results are not predictive of future success. The company faces risks of clinical trial delays, such as the data collection omission experienced for aleniglipron, and potential rejection of foreign clinical data by the FDA. There is also a risk of serious adverse events emerging in later-stage trials - The company's drug discovery platform is **unproven**, and it is **uncertain** if it can develop any products of commercial value[150](index=150&type=chunk) - The company has **experienced clinical trial delays**, citing a **data collection omission** at a clinical site for its Phase 2a study of aleniglipron, which delayed data reporting[163](index=163&type=chunk) - The company **conducts initial clinical studies outside the U.S.** (e.g., in Australia), and there is a risk that the **FDA or other authorities may not accept data** from these studies, which would delay development[189](index=189&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties](index=73&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Reliance%20on%20Third%20Parties) The company relies on third parties for manufacturing, preclinical studies, and clinical trials, which increases risks related to supply, cost, and quality. A key supplier, WuXi STA, is a subsidiary of WuXi AppTec, which has been named in the proposed BIOSECURE Act, potentially disrupting the supply chain. The company also depends on CROs for trial execution and has experienced delays due to their actions - The company **relies on third-party manufacturers**, including **WuXi STA**, a subsidiary of WuXi AppTec. Proposed legislation like the **BIOSECURE Act** could restrict the ability to work with such entities, potentially **disrupting the supply of materials**[205](index=205&type=chunk) - The company **relies on CROs** to conduct clinical studies and has **experienced delays** due to their actions, such as a **data collection omission** at a clinical site during the Phase 2a trial of aleniglipron[213](index=213&type=chunk)[215](index=215&type=chunk) - The company's **collaborations with Schrödinger are critical** for its discovery capabilities. Termination of or failure by Schrödinger to perform under these agreements could **materially harm** the development of product candidates[227](index=227&type=chunk)[228](index=228&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Product Candidates](index=85&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Commercialization%20of%20Our%20Product%20Candidates) Even if approved, the company's products face significant commercialization hurdles. These include ongoing regulatory obligations, potential failure to achieve market acceptance, and challenges in securing coverage and adequate reimbursement from payors. The company faces substantial competition from large pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk in the obesity market. As a company with no commercialization experience, it would need to build a sales and marketing organization or rely on partners - The company faces **substantial competition** from major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including **Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, and Roche**, who are developing or marketing products for the same indications[253](index=253&type=chunk)[254](index=254&type=chunk) - The company has **no marketing and sales organization or experience** in commercializing products and would need to **invest significant resources** to build these capabilities or rely on third parties[259](index=259&type=chunk) - Market acceptance and sales will depend on **securing coverage and adequate reimbursement** from third-party payors, which is **uncertain** in the current cost-containment environment[249](index=249&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Industry](index=95&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Business%20Operations%20and%20Industry) The company's success is highly dependent on its senior management team and its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. It faces risks related to managing growth, potential loss of R&D tax credits from its Australian subsidiaries, and compliance with complex healthcare fraud and abuse laws. The business is also subject to risks from cybersecurity threats, potential product liability lawsuits, and the impact of healthcare reform like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) - The company is **highly dependent on its senior management team** and faces **intense competition** for qualified personnel[265](index=265&type=chunk)[266](index=266&type=chunk) - The company's **Australian subsidiaries may not be able to receive the R&D tax credit**, or could be required to **refund credits** previously received, which would harm business results[271](index=271&type=chunk)[272](index=272&type=chunk) - **Healthcare legislative reforms**, such as the **Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)** which includes Medicare drug price negotiation and inflation rebates, could **negatively impact** the business and ability to sell products profitably[281](index=281&type=chunk)[283](index=283&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Doing Business in China and Our International Operations](index=115&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Doing%20Business%20in%20China%20and%20Our%20International%20Operations) The company's operations in China expose it to risks from changes in Chinese political, economic, and legal policies, as well as U.S.-China relations. It must comply with complex and evolving Chinese laws on data security (e.g., Cybersecurity Law, PIPL) and human genetic resources (HGR Regulation). Future securities offerings may require filing with the CSRC under new regulations. The company also faces risks related to currency exchange controls and potential classification as a China resident enterprise for tax purposes - Changes in political and economic policies between China and the United States may **adversely affect** the company's business, financial condition, and results of operations[318](index=318&type=chunk) - The company is subject to **complex Chinese data security laws** (e.g., Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, PIPL) and regulations on human genetic resources, which may entail significant compliance expenses and risks[321](index=321&type=chunk)[327](index=327&type=chunk) - Under new CSRC regulations effective March 31, 2023, the company may be required to complete filings with the **CSRC** for future securities offerings, and failure to do so could result in penalties[331](index=331&type=chunk)[332](index=332&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property](index=132&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Intellectual%20Property) The company's success depends on its ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for its platform and product candidates. There is a risk that patents may not be issued, or if issued, may not be broad enough or may be invalidated. The company also relies on trade secrets, which are difficult to protect. It faces the risk of third-party infringement claims, which could be costly and time-consuming to defend, and changes in patent law could diminish the value of its IP - The company's ability to successfully commercialize its products is dependent on **obtaining and maintaining sufficient intellectual property protection**, which is **uncertain**[353](index=353&type=chunk) - The company may become involved in **lawsuits alleging infringement** of third-party intellectual property rights, which could be **expensive and have a negative impact** on the business[383](index=383&type=chunk) - **Changes in U.S. patent law**, such as the Leahy-Smith Act, or the patent laws of other countries could **diminish the value of patents** and impair the ability to protect product candidates[397](index=397&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our ADSs](index=153&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20ADSs) The trading price of the company's ADSs is likely to be volatile. Although its auditor is currently subject to PCAOB inspection, future changes could subject it to the HFCA Act, potentially leading to delisting. The company has previously identified and remediated a material weakness in internal controls. Principal shareholders hold significant voting power, and future sales of ADSs could depress the market price. ADS holders have fewer rights than direct shareholders and waive the right to a jury trial for claims arising under the deposit agreement - The trading price of the company's ADSs may be **highly volatile** due to factors such as clinical trial results, regulatory decisions, and market conditions[413](index=413&type=chunk) - While the company's auditor is **currently subject to PCAOB inspection**, if this changes, the company could be subject to the **HFCA Act**, which could lead to **delisting** from Nasdaq[416](index=416&type=chunk)[419](index=419&type=chunk) - The company **previously identified and has since remediated a material weakness** in its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024[422](index=422&type=chunk)[424](index=424&type=chunk)[425](index=425&type=chunk) [General Risk Factors](index=168&type=section&id=General%20Risk%20Factors) The company faces general risks including the significant costs and compliance burdens of being a public company, particularly after losing its 'emerging growth company' status. Failure to maintain effective internal controls could harm financial reporting reliability. The company is also exposed to risks from natural disasters like earthquakes and fires at its California headquarters, and potential liabilities from the use of hazardous materials in its R&D operations - As a public company, the company must **maintain effective internal controls** over financial reporting, a process that is **costly and challenging**. Failure to do so could **harm investor confidence** and the stock price[452](index=452&type=chunk)[454](index=454&type=chunk) - The company's **headquarters and main research facility are located in an area prone to earthquakes and fires**, and it **lacks a comprehensive disaster recovery plan and earthquake insurance**[463](index=463&type=chunk) - **Failure to comply with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements** could result in the **delisting** of the company's ADSs[467](index=467&type=chunk) [Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds](index=171&type=section&id=Item%202.%20Unregistered%20Sales%20of%20Equity%20Securities%20and%20Use%20of%20Proceeds) The company reported no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 - There were **no unregistered sales of equity securities** during the three months ended March 31, 2025[468](index=468&type=chunk) [Defaults Upon Senior Securities](index=171&type=section&id=Item%203.%20Defaults%20Upon%20Senior%20Securities) The company reported no defaults upon senior securities - **None**[468](index=468&type=chunk) [Mine Safety Disclosures](index=171&type=section&id=Item%204.%20Mine%20Safety%20Disclosures) This item is not applicable to the company - **None**[468](index=468&type=chunk) [Other Information](index=171&type=section&id=Item%205.%20Other%20Information) The company reported no other information required to be disclosed under this item - **None**[468](index=468&type=chunk) [Exhibits](index=172&type=section&id=Item%206.%20Exhibits) This section lists the exhibits filed with the Form 10-Q, including the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, forms of deposit agreement and ADR, CEO and CFO certifications (Sections 302 and 906), and XBRL data files - The report includes **standard exhibits** such as organizational documents, **CEO/CFO certifications** under Sarbanes-Oxley Sections 302 and 906, and **Inline XBRL filings**[470](index=470&type=chunk) [Signatures](index=173&type=section&id=Signatures) The report is duly signed by the company's Chief Executive Officer (Raymond Stevens, Ph.D.) and Chief Financial Officer (Jun Yoon) on May 8, 2025 - The report was signed on **May 8, 2025**, by **Raymond Stevens, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer**, and **Jun Yoon, Chief Financial Officer**[473](index=473&type=chunk)
